Arthrotec

Well, he's on arthrotec for a while. Let's hope that it's just a pulled muscle .. though he's not aware of doing anything that could have damaged his lower back .. no sudden movements or twisting the back in a different way. It's the second time he's had pain in two weeks .. in two different places .. woke up one morning with a painful neck which he just put down to sleeping in a difficult position and then the other day seemed to do his lower back in when he was pulling up his duvet .. but has no recollection of any quick turns or anything like that which could have resulted in a pulled muscle.

If the pain is due to muscle spasm then it could be to do with something else other than what he was doing at the time the pain started .. but there had been nothing he could think of that might've started spasms off .. no previous problem other than the crick in his neck a couple of weeks before.

The pain is still there but the medication is making things a lot easier. I was prescribed it a few months ago but found that I was allergic to it.
